The herbicidal activity and phytotoxicity were evaluated in eleven stages, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 by comparing germination and growth of test plants with those untreated.

[0]: the states of germination and growth of test plants showed no difference.

[10]: test plants either completely died or germination/growth were totally inhibited.

TEST EXAMPLE 1 Soil Surface Treatment Test in Upland Field

Cylindrical plastic pots of 10 cm in diameter and 10 cm in depth were filled with upland field soil, and seeds of barnyardgrass were sowed in the pots and covered with soil. The test compounds were formulated into emulsifiable concentrates according to Formulation Example 2, and the prescribed amount of each emulsifiable concentrate was diluted with water at a spray volume of 1000 liters/hectare and uniformly applied onto the whole soil surface by means of a sprayer. After application, the test plants were cultivated for 19 days in a greenhouse, and the herbicidal activity was examined. The results are shown in Table 4.

TEST EXAMPLE 5 Foliar Treatment Test in Upland Field

Cylindrical plastic pots of 10 cm in diameter and 10 cm in depth were filled with upland field soil, and the seeds of ivyleaf morningglory were sowed in the respective pots and cultivated for 7 days in a greenhouse.

Thereafter, the test compounds were formulated into emulsifiable concentrates according to Formulation Example 2 and the prescribed amount of each emulsifiable concentrate was diluted with a spreading agent-containing water at a spray volume of 1000 liters/hectare and uniformly applied from above onto the whole foliar portion of the test plant by means of a sprayer. After application, the test plants were cultivated for 19 days in a greenhouse, and the herbicidal activity was examined. The results are shown in Table 8.

TEST EXAMPLE 6 Flooding Treatment Test in Paddy Field

Cylindrical plastic pots of 9 cm in diameter and 11 cm in depth were filled with paddy field soil, and seeds of Echinochola oryzicola were sowed. After creating a state of paddy field by flooding, rice (at the 2-leaf stage) was transplanted and cultivated in a greenhouse. After 5 days, the test compounds were formulated into emulsifiable concentrates according to Formulation Example 2, and the prescribed amount of each emulsifiable concentrate was diluted with water and applied onto the water surface. After application, the test plants were cultivated for 19 days in a greenhouse, and the herbicidal activity and phytotoxicity were examined. The results are shown in Table 9.

TEST EXAMPLE 7 Soil Treatment Test in Upland Field

Vats of 33×23 cm² in area and 11 cm in depth were filled with upland field soil, and the seeds of the test plant shown in Table 10 were sowed in the respective vats and covered with soil in a thickness of 1 to 2 cm. The test compounds were formulated into emulsifiable concentrates according to Formulation Example 2, and the prescribed amount of each emulsifiable concentrate was diluted with water at a spray volume of 1000 liters/hectare and uniformly applied onto the whole soil surface by means of a sprayer. After application, the test plants were cultivated for 18 days in a greenhouse, and the herbicidal activity and phytotoxicity were examined. The results are shown in Table 10.

TEST EXAMPLE 10 Flooding Treatment Test in Paddy Field

Wager's pots of 1/5000 ares were filled with paddy field soil, and seeds of test plants shown in Table 13 were sowed. After creating a state of paddy field by water flooding, rice (at the 2-leaf stage) was transplanted and they were cultivated in a greenhouse. After 5 days (at the germination stage of barnyardgrass), the test compounds were formulated into emulsifiable concentrates according to Formulation Example 2, perscribed amount of each of the emulsifiable concentrates was diluted with water and applied onto the water surface in the pots. Water leakage decreasing the depth of flooding water by 3 cm was carried out on the day subsequent to and two days after the application of test compounds. The test plants were cultivated for 20 days in a greenhouse. Then, the herbicidal activity and phytotoxicity were examined. The results are shown in Table 13.

TEST EXAMPLE 11 Flooding Treatment Test in Paddy Field

Wager's pots of 1/5000 ares were filled with paddy field soil, and seeds of test plants shown in Table 14 were sowed. After creating a state of paddy field by water flooding, rice (at the 2-leaf stage) was transplanted and they were cultivated in a greenhouse. After 12 days (at 1.5-2.0 leaves stage of barnyardgrass), the test compounds were formulated into emulsifiable concentrates according to Formulation Example 2, prescribed amount of each of the emulsifiable concentrates was diluted with water and applied onto the water surface in the pots. Water leakage decreasing the depth of flooding water by 3 cm was carried out on the day subsequent to and two days after the application of test compounds. The test plants were cultivated for 20 days in a greenhouse. Then, the herbicidal activity and phytotoxicity were examined. The results are shown in Table 14.
